But guns were designed by man-not poverty. The Government have enough money to abolish poverty- but they chose not to. Can i back this up- yes. In England, we pay taxes, council taxes, road tax, congestion charge (a charge to drive in parts of London at certain times to prevent traffic)....the list goes on. Where does all of thismoney go? Some to the Queen, (coz she really needs it!), some to asylum seekers- who come to this country, dont work and live better lifestyles than the people who do actually work. Its an unfair system.

My point is, the money could be spent on helping the poor- who dont want handouts, but opportunities, which is not an impossible task, but the Government dont want to do that.

Think about it- even statistics clearly show it- crime rates are high in poorer areas, so if we were to help the poorer population, would crime rates not drop??
Hold on a min, i agree with everything YOU said there...but thats not what the guy who started this thread said!

Due to the nature of a capitalist economy and the never ending aim of gaining more and more profit...the chances of reaching full employment in any Western Economy is slim, inflation would shoot up which would in turn would cause the economy to collapse and everyone would be unemployed again.

Capitalism cannot provide what you are asking for, and quite apart from the economic immpossibility of full employment, capitalism does need a reserve army of labour for all sorts of things (least of all when a show of workers power is demonstrated), so full employment is hardly something capitalists want. By the way, you believe the government is to blame, i am a socialist and thus believe the government to only be a tool of the ruling class, those who own the means of production (god i love these corny Marxist terms).

And by the way, i live in Wales - i pay exactly the same taxes!

Who said anything about taxes? No disrespect, unless u live here, u dont know a thing i talked about. You live in Wales not Amerikkka, big big difference. Topic is about the system of control blind to the human eye, not taxes. There is a reason I blurted everythin out at once without explanation. This countrys laws & system of rules is like a massive blueprint on how to run a prison of 200 somethin million.

What the fuck are u talking about^^^

I answered her question not yours, and with all due respect if u knew i thing about what your talking about you would know that the economy and economic oppression is the way they keep even your fantasy alive.

The point is what your saying isnt structured at all, your picking up all the awful things in society and blaming them all on the same source...the government...explain to me what your government does to oppress you that my government doesnt do to oppress me. By your 'Amerikkka' comment i take it you think the lines are split down racial lines, but everything u claim happen to blacks happen to poor white americans as well (except the racial abuse), the oppression is the same.

The blueprint you talk of isnt some a plan created by a few devious people at the top...do u know anything of history? It is the result of thousands of years of society eveolving. It would be a good idea for you to pick up the communist manifesto and read it - and understand it. Each epoc of human history has been the history of one class overthrowing the other, in the Fudal times it was the surfs overthrowing the land owners - in effect becoming the same class - the owners of the means of production. Which then lead to capitalism in its current form, which leaves two main classes - Through historical materialism it can then be seen that the working class will now overthrow the ruling class thus leaving only one class - hence communism.

What your suggesting is that this social proccess never happened - thus totaly ignoring history....No one on this planet acts in a historical vacumm, including the government - they have changed dramatically, in relation to the blueprint you talk of and the ways in which laws represent moral value. The American government didnt apper out of thin air, but according to your analysis they did!

What in gods name are u talking about? Stop trying to sound smart & make sense. Please dont even say anything about America unless you live here and have a sense of what the scenario is. All your thoughts are speculations or assumptions. Come get real life experience then holla at me.

Did you know ur a slave? Did u know everythin serves a purpose for the American gov't? Sex is the #1 need beside money. Do we want over-population with alot of people havin sex? Nope. We aint commies we dont tell families 2 children & under. We release AIDS to balance it out. Where did drugs come from? We put it there man. So we can imprison people and cut down on people. Why do cigarettes exist? haha must i go on. We charge em a grip in medical expenses then barry em when he dead. Cmon man get wit the system, u jus a bitch in this world. You got a leash on u and u aint even know it. You gotta go to school for 18yrs homie & learn nothing useful for what u doin now. Does it really take that long to learn how to write and speak english and learn some algebra? Haha. Why do u really get a speeding ticket? Cuz u broke the law? Cuz u cuda killed some people? Hell nah ignit fool, they say that so they can punk u and take yo money. Why did we really invade Iraq?, why dont we invade N.K. ? Call me krazy, call me pyscho.. "i laff til im cryn when the law come get me"
Yes we are slaves. We are slaves to our bodily needs before we are slaves to the 'system', for I read somewhere that every man is a slave to his stomach. Everyone is subject to hunger, pain, comfort, lonliness, desire..etc. I wouldn't say that Sex was the #1 need, for we all need: Food, Water, Shelter, Sleep & Sex (in no particular order) in moderation.

To say that we are all slaves is correct in one way or another but that is not all we are. 'We are all born into a prison that we cannot smell or taste or touch, a prison for our mind' - and no matter what we do we aren't going to change that. On the other hand the 'system' that is seen as enslaving us has no effect on us, (other than what we let it have), for it cannot hinder our growth or take away our human rights. We are all in the same boat at the end of the day.

Prophet G, Your view sounds a little pessimistic if I may say, and would be the view of someone in a mental prison.

And what u said wasn't off the chart? You sound like some philosopher who retired early cuz crack cocaine got him talkn about weird shit like what u jus said.. we are slaves of our stomach..

Has no effect on us? LOL dame u live on Earth or u on that strong shit. It cannot hinder our growth or take away our rights? Damn man either u blind or u been living with a blindfold on. Wtf u talkn about, the system doesnt effect us, of course it does. EVerythin they do, say, make.. effects us. If Bush makes a law takin away ur freedom but assuring more security.. it dont effect u? More taxes, dont effect u? U must live in the jungle.
